Abstract

In the process of translating Uzbek phrases into English, many linguistic and cultural difficulties arise. Phrases usually express a meaning different from the direct meaning of words and reflect the customs, lifestyle, and worldview of the people. Since Uzbek and English belong to different language families, many expressions do not have direct equivalents. Therefore, the translator must correctly convey not only the meaning, but also the emotional tone of the phrase. This requires deep linguistic knowledge, an understanding of culture, and proper contextual analysis. Incorrect interpretation of phrases can lead to loss of meaning or misunderstanding. Therefore, the translation of phrases occupies an important place in intercultural communication
